SpeccyDS SpeccyDS, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for the Nintendo DS/DS Lite, has been updated by CraigT to version 0.1. Despite the improvements, SpeccyDS v0.1 is bugged by a few glitches and these are some of the known issues you may run into:
* Sound emulation is not 100% accurate and can be scratchy at times
* Several games do not work, or work incorrectly including Starquake, Chaos and Megabucks
* Several features are missing such as snapshot saving, keyboard assignment and display properties.
* Only .SNA files are currently supported
* There is no visual feedback to indicate the state of the Caps Lock and Symbol Shift keys
If those don't bother you, then go ahead and install SpeccyDS on your consoles. To use this app we are posting portions from CraigT's readme file:
Top Screen
This screen displays the main Spectrum display. Borders are not currently displayed.
Touch Screen
This screen will change depending on the current operation. The screen will display one of the following:
* Keyboard - The keyboard can be used in the same way as a normal Spectrum 48K spectrum but only one key can be pressed at once.
* The Caps Shift and Symbol Shift keys are 'sticky'. If selected, they will stay depressed until they are selected again. There is currently no visual feedback to indicate the state of the buttons The delete is located on the shifted 0 key.
* The 'Reset' button performs a hard reset of the Spectrum.
Load
This screen is displayed after selecting the 'Load' button on the keyboard screen. The current folder ('/' by default) is displayed, followed by a list of folders and Spectrum snapshot files (extension .SNA) that are contained in the current folder on the homebrew media. All other files are hidden. Only snapshot files are supported at this time.
If you are having problems finding snapshot files, it is possible to convert other spectrum file types to snapshots using any of the many Windows Spectrum emulators that are available. The file list can be scrolled by using the up, down, page up and page down buttons to the right of the file list display.
Selecting a folder on the touch screen will enter the folder. Selecting a snapshot file will load the file into memory, return to the keyboard screen and continue the emulation.
Controls
This screen is displayed after selecting the 'Controls' button on the keyboard screen and is used to define the behavior of the Nintendo DS d-pad and buttons.
Kempson, Cursor, Sinclair 1 and Sinclair 2 joystick assignments can be used by selecting the relevant button. The keyboard button assigns the following controls:
